A Student's Praise
|
|
Dr. Lorraine Monroe was my principal at the Frederick Douglass Academy. I was one of the students recruited from other Junior High schools to attend the Frederick Douglass Academy. I have read "Nothing's Impossible" and I enjoyed it. I love understanding the mind that developed FDA. I am one of the products of FDA. According to this book, Dr. Lorraine Monroe and her small band of teachers and faculty goal was to make sure that minorities from Harlem, Bronx, and Brooklyn were able to get into the colleges of their choice. We did just so. I am currently at New York University's Stern School of Business looking towards completing my masters and a career in business. Thank you Dr. Monroe for teaching me how to be a leader.

Magnificent Woman with Dynamism to share

Nothing's Impossible by Lorraine Monroe is the finest book on the market today. This book should be required reading for all educators and persons who affect the lives of children, young adults. This book is written very simplistically with heart-warming feelings that touches the nerves of any sound thinking individual. I read this book in 20 hours. I slept with it because I did not want to lose sight of it. This book causes you to laugh, smile, cry, get angry, be proud and most of all admire the ability, concern and commitment that this educator had. The passion for belief in and respect for the individual is the kind of qualities all educators should possess. I see another "Lean of Me" movie in the making. Lorraine is my choice for Administrator of the Year! Thanks Lorraine Monroe for the "Monroe Doctrine."
